Modify held the request open for a library search, a PubMed search, a web
search and a restating model call. That is minutes, and a browser gives up
first — Firefox abandons a non-streaming fetch at five minutes, the same
failure generating was moved off the request to fix in ef574edd. The server
carried on and saved the result while the person watched an error, and closing
the tab killed the work outright.
POST /my-resources/:id/refine now records the request and answers 202 with the
job, exactly as /generate does. The writing moved into refineResource(), which
the job runner dispatches to by kind; the job list, the five-second polling,
the restart recovery and the three-in-flight cap are all the work they already
did, unchanged. Ownership is checked again inside refineResource because the
resource can be deleted while the job waits.
The page follows the job instead of the response. Reporting is unchanged — the
unchanged reply, what was seen and what was searched — it is only said from the
job list now, so it still reaches the person who asked for it after a reload.
